Putting on a new production is equal parts cunning and innovation, says General Director Christopher Hahn. He is particularly excited to revisit Don Giovanni (the first opera he planned as Pittsburgh Opera's Artistic Director in 2001) with a new director and new set designer: that's the "invention" part.
